I'm guessing we should all be grateful that Pluto was discovered in 1930. Otherwise, what would Walt Disney have named Mickey Mouse's dog?
Minnie Mouse: Mickey! Get Uranus out of my flower garden! All the plants are dying!

I was taught to call it Urine-iss. I always thought it sounded gross...I heard someone pronounce it the typical way and it didn't sound any better.
I've heard it's properly said yooRAHNus, but for one I doubt that that is correct, for two no one knows what you're saying, and for three it's difficult to say.

I went to the planetarium the other day and the man who made the presentation on the planets pronounes Uranus in a strange way--kinda like YUR-nus. I think it might have to do with the hundreds of middle schoolers who come to his presentation every day--no need to rile them up!
Yeah, they were trying out that pronunciation all the way back when I was in high school, but even at the time I didn't think that "Urine-us" was much of an improvement on "Your-anus."
One might try to get some mileage out of "You-RAN-us"....

My favorite joke about this planet comes from The Animaniacs. Yakko sings a neat little song about the planets & when Wakko points out, "Hey, you forgot Uranus!" Yakko, from his little spaceship while he waves at the camera, says, "Goodnight, folks!"
Kills me every time.

Well, everybody recognized that Georgium Sidus wasn't quite right as a name.
Wait, isn't that the name of the next Sith lord in the third Star Wars prequel...?

Shoulda gone with Minerva, in retrospect. Though I wonder how the neopagan feminists would treat another planet named after a goddess?
In Jesu et Maria,

Professor: "Would you like to try the smelloscope, Fry?"
Fry: "Hey, as long as you don't make me smell Uranus."
Leela: "I don't get it."
Professor: "I'm sorry, Fry, but astronomers renamed Uranus in 2620 to end that stupid joke once and for all."
Fry: "Oh. What's it called now?"
Professor: "Urectum. Here, let me locate it for you."
Fry: "Hehe, no, no, I think I'll just smell around a bit over here."

So many witty remarks, so little time.

Perhaps it would have been preferable if he broke with tradition and gave it the Greek form, Ouranos, rather than the Latin, Uranus.
